What we know about Stewart Weldon, the man who lives at Springfield home where bodies were found

Stewart Weldon, 40, pleaded not guilty on May 29, 2018 in Springfield District Court to kidnapping with serious bodily injury, threat to commit a crime (murder), resisting arrest and five related charges. The $1 million cash bail was requested by Springfield police following Weldon's arrest Sunday night after a chase through the Six Corners neighborhood.

Springfield police worked through the night on Wednesday, May 31, 2018 investigating the discovery of bodies at 1333 Page Boulevard -- the same address listed on the court paperwork for 40-year-old Weldon, who was arrested Sunday. District Attorney Anthony Gulluni initially reported that there were 2 bodies found on the property, and on Thursday evening, revealed that a third body was found.

The discoveries were made when police went to the house three days after Weldon was arrested and charged with kidnapping in connection with raping and beating a woman with a hammer. Hampden County District Attorney Anthony Gulluni confirmed Weldon is the resident of the home.

Sources familiar with the ongoing investigation in Springfield say police visited Weldon's home Wednesday evening after his mother called to report a foul odor at the address.

A child that was at 1333 Page Blvd. was taken into emergency custody, according to the state Department of Children and Families.

"The Department of Children and Families took emergency custody of a child in the home and is investigating in collaboration with law enforcement," said Andrea Grossman, an agency spokesperson, on Friday.
